“When we reach a place in our meditation that we feel the Presence, the meditation is complete. There is no time in Consciousness; one second of divine Consciousness is far more productive than hours of sitting in meditation where there is no real consciousness of the Presence. Sometimes we are held for a longer period of time, however, meditation is effortless and timeless when the Spirit takes over. The moment we are aware of the Presence and have that released sense of Life, we know our meditation is complete.”
